Having reread the scene I can't find anything even remotely hinting at
pedophilia or inappropriate touching. Just touching, which in some
parts of the world has become suspect by itself. 

As for Lupin killing Sirius. In book five it explicitely states that
only two people were battling, Sirius and Bellatrix. After the second
bolt hits him in the chest, she gives a triumphant scream. I cannot
see any evidence in that scene it was anybody else other than her who cast
the second bolt.
